Tour Character

Primarily on paved roads with occasional unpaved sections and areas of maintenance or disrepair. Easily navigated by any experienced touring enthusiast. Very moderate pace.

The trip proved to be more inclusive in some ways and that was unexpected. So was the wide range of opportunities to experience Cuba, from staying with local families to enjoying an all-inclusive resort. Having a Cuban guide opened the door - literally - to a more authentic experience.

Marilyn S 9 Days in Cuba with MotoDiscovery

Skip and his team went above and beyond to deliver a fantastic experience riding motorcycles through Cuba. They took us to interesting places, fed us amazing food, introduced us to the local culture, and accommodated the needs of each of the people in our group.

Chuck Thomas 7 Day Cuba Tour

Cuba...No Better Time Than Now

The best in Cuba. We are the most experienced motorcycle tour operator on the island, earning the first-ever approval from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control in 2011 to legally travel to Cuba with US citizens.

Havana. The city is magic, enjoying a renaissance while retaining its Spanish Colonial charm.

The ride. Expect to be well received by the people of Cuba. Roads lightly traveled will make for enjoyable riding.

Viñales and the tobacco region provide some of the island’s best riding. Quaint rolling hills of tobacco plantations produce the finest cigar wrappings in the world. A tour and lunch at the legendary Finca Robaina will be an education in tobacco agriculture and the pursuit of wrapping the finest cigars on the planet.

Casas particulares are home stays. We’ll employ locals to be our hosts on occasion, a great people to people engagement and a fun way to get to know Cuba.

The Bay of Pigs. You will swim in the very waters that once served as the beachhead for the USA backed invasion of Cuba in 1961.

Trinidad is the Colonial gem of Cuba, a World UNESCO Heritage site that along with the nearby valleys satisfied the world’s sweet tooth as one of the leading producers of sugar. The Casas de Musica will beat to Cuban rhythms and invite dance.

Che Guevara, the Argentinian revolutionary who at the side of Fidel Castro, is memorialized and entombed in Santa Clara where you will visit a fascinating museum.

Los Harlistas. They are the dedicated riders of the American motorcycle who have devoted themselves to preserving classic bikes, often ridden daily. You will certainly encounter these passionate riders as part of our people to people experience.

Note the many inclusions. This event includes your round-trip airfare from Miami to Cuba and visa fees and much more.

Non-riding passengers are free to join us in a spacious and comfortable support van.

What's Not Included

Can I just rent a motorcycle from you and go on my own?

Unfortunately, No.

How much independence will I have?

A mandatory full schedule of activities is planned each day. Generally speaking, evenings are free. The truth is that the people to people (P2P) activities are widely considered as a bonus and our guests have embraced the value of getting to know the people of Cuba. The educational aspect of our travels to Cuba are not a negative…they are what makes these tours so great.

How are the roads?

They are perfectly suited for motorcycle touring offering a variety of scenery and conditions. There is not a lot of vehicular traffic. The island tends to be in the path of tropical storms during the rain season (July- October) that results in damages and roads under repair. Occasionally we will take an unpaved road to arrive at a scheduled activity and to explore the more remote Cuban countryside.

What is a “casa particular”?

The government of Cuba has in recent years experimented with the concept of permitting families to provide lodging for foreign travelers. Not only has the Casa Particular provided relief to meet the high demand for traditional hotel rooms, it has turned into one of the highlights of the MotoDiscovery Cuba travel experience. We offer this only for a few nights; often simple and basic but always personable and accommodating - this is a unique way of reaching the people of Cuba.

What is a “paladar”?

Private restaurants. Yes, even “the state” has control over dining options. State-owned restaurants, as you might expect are often not as quality and service oriented as ambitious privately owned establishments. The paladar is always our choice, however, we occasionally have to throw a bone to state-owned restaurants.

Can I remain behind after the tour?

Yes. We can accommodate however we encourage you to read the regulations from the Office of Foreign Assets Control regarding your activities while in Cuba.

Is Cuba safe?

By any standard, Cuba would be considered safe. But one can’t be naïve. International travelers understand the importance of using common sense and taking the usual precautions and this would apply to Cuba as well, even with its positive reputation in this regard.

Can you put together a special Cuba tour for just me and my friends?

Certainly. We facilitate custom and private tours all the time. Just be aware that MotoDiscovery takes seriously our obligation to fulfill the demands of the USA government in providing a full schedule of people to people activities. You will be asked to document the experience as part of our effort to be compliant. Plan ahead. Start talking it up among your friends. Ride Cuba with MotoDiscovery. The time to do it is now. Get started with your trip by filling out our Custom Motorcycle Tour Form.

How big are the groups?

On average about 10 people. A mix of men and women.

When can I book my tour?

Please! Do it as soon as you feel prepared to commit. This is not a tour where you can be added last minute. Securing the necessary visas and permits require lead time. And, the tours have been regular sell outs. Everyone benefits from your advanced planning and commitment.

My partner doesn’t ride. Can she/he still join the group?

Yes. We frequently have non-riding spouses, friends and family members accompany us in the spacious and comfortable support van. Just let our office know

I’d like more information.

Good. We think it is important to be prepared. Once you have registered for this tour you’ll receive a very comprehensive Tour Information Booklet weeks in advance of your departure. All the topics you would require to be optimally prepared for your travels are covered. Cuba is unique in many ways so call if you have any questions.
